^
Disconnect each joint and mounting using power tool.
^
Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 as follows:
^
Using heated oxygen sensor wrench (SST), removal heated oxygen sensor 2.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage heated oxygen sensor 2.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
^
When installing, heated oxygen sensor 2 is identified by the color of the connector.
Bank 1: Green
Bank 2: Blue
^
Install the collar (5 of Components) with its lower surface horizontal.
^
Temporarily tighten nuts and bolts when installing exhaust pipe assembly Tighten them to the specified torque when connecting the vehicle rear to
the vehicle front.
CAUTION:
^
Always replace exhaust tube gaskets with new ones when reassembling.
^
Discard any heated oxygen sensor which has been dropped from a height of more than 0.5 m (19.7 inch) onto a hard surface such as a
concrete floor; use a new one.
^
Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using the heated oxygen sensor thread cleaner [commercial service
tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12], and apply the anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).
^
Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to heated oxygen sensor, resulting in the MIL coming on.
^
If heat insulator is badly deformed, repair or replace it. If deposits such as mud pile up on the heat insulator, remove them.
^
When installing heat insulator avoid large gaps or interference between heat insulator and each exhaust pipe.
^
Remove deposits from the sealing surface of each connection. Connect them securely to avoid gases leakage.
^
Check each part for unusual interference, and then tighten them to the specified torque.
^
When installing each mounting rubber, avoid twisting or unusual extension in up/down and right/left directions.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
^
Make sure clearance between tail tube and rear bumper is even.
^
With engine running, check exhaust tube joints for gas leakage and unusual noises.
^
Check to ensure that mounting brackets and mounting rubbers are installed properly and free from undue stress. Improper installation could result
in excessive noise and vibration.
